if anyone has recommendations let me know.
I have really liked my Wowtac A1S NW [amazon.com]. It's $30 on Amazon, but there are occasional 5-20% off coupons. I've had mine for just over a year and it still functions like new.
It is waterproof, not too big, and has been super reliable. I haven't dropped it significantly, but it has gotten soaking wet in both water and isopropyl alcohol solution quite a few times. The low setting is a slightly brighter than I'd like but doesn't kill your night vision, and the bright setting is super bright. I carry mine when I run at night. I didn't have a 18650 charger, but the light comes with an 18650 battery that charges directly from a micro usb port. I picked one in neutral white (NW) rather than coole white (the CW version). I haven't compared the two, but when I researched lights, a majority of the true flashlight nerds seem to prefer warm or neutral versions over colder color temp lights for seeing detail at night.
Lots of similar lights can only run on high for a minute or two before they turn down to a lower setting. This doesn't do that, but can get uncomfortably hot if you run it on high for a long time.
It has 4 settings from low to high, a useless SOS setting, and a strobe function. It remembers the last setting you had it on for every setting except strobe.
I've had other lights from ArmyTek (they either last forever or never work right to start with, and ArmyTek's customer service is atrocious), Fenix (decent lights, but a little expensive), and various cheaper versions. This has been my favorite so far.

Lets rephrase this a different way; 'I bought a box of cereal at the grocery store I didn't like, It's dishonest, but buy a new one & return the bad one in the new box. Why should I have to suffer because the grocery store keeps selling items I do not like.'
Things go bad. I use this flashlight daily for work and it hasn't failed me yet over a year
I agree. However, I have had the 3 pack sold at Costco for over 10 years. No issues.
I looked at the item when it was posted and saw this was the one I bought. I don't think you can ever have too many flashlights, but for me it's not a good option.
